I must be doing something wrong. I only see like the same 5 communities, and occasionally several copies of the same post. It’s harshing my mellow because i know there’s more content out there, i just can’t see it for some reason
You would never see a half an hour old post on reddit hot sort. Look on local or subscribed, and if you want variety sort by new on all
Hmm, so far I think I still liked Reddit’s algorithm better. Somehow it always managed to combine top posts from huge communities (news, videos, etc) with small niche interest communities on the same timeline. Hot on Lemmy feels almost like a random selection of posts to me. What people post here is good, but the way it’s selected and sorted doesn’t feel quite as meaningful to me.
I think size of the community should be factored into the ranking, at least a little bit.
That’s crazy to me. I think the sorting algorithm here is pretty awful no matter what setting I have it in. Linuxmemes, lemmyshitpost, and 196 are always on top mixed in with yesterday’s news
Are you sorting by active instead of hot? I never see old things past several hours unless it’s ultra upvoted
I just sorted by hot and got posts I looked at yesterday
I really like the top post per 6/12 hours, that way you can really keep up with popular posts.
